Horgan mentioned a study that showed that the flu vaccine may make people more susceptible to other corona viruses, is that linked anywhere?

I don't see a link here. Maybe you could find it for us.

I think this is it:
Influenza vaccination and respiratory virus interference among Department of Defense personnel during the 2017-2018 influenza season. - PubMed - NCBI

Receiving influenza vaccination may increase the risk of other respiratory viruses, a phenomenon known as virus interference........

Vaccine derived virus interference was significantly associated with coronavirus.
